Heykel hakkında

This sculpture showing a grotesque sea monster rising from the water is representing Triton and is attributed to Ferdinando Tacca.

The fact that the figure is not bored for water and is cast in one with its rectangular base seems to preclude the possibility that it formed part of a fountain. The forward hand may originally have held the shaft of a torch.

Ferdinando Tacca (1619-1686) was an Italian sculptor and set designer, son of Pietro Tacca.

He completed and erected the equestrian statue of Philip IV in Madrid (1640) and completed the satue of the Grand-Duke Ferdinand I begun by his father for teh Capella dei Principi in Florence. He succeeded his father as Grand-Ducal sculptor in 1642. His principal works are a relief of the Stoning of St. Stephen in Santo Stefano in Florence (1656) and the so-called Fontana del Bacchino at Prato (1659-65).
